    摘要: A RF receiver for modulated RF signals based on a N-port junction (1) providing LO/RF isolation is proposed. N thereby is an integer larger than two, such that the N-port junction (1) can be preferably a three port, four port, five port and six port junction. The N-port junction (1) supplied with a first RF signal at a first input (2) and with a second RF signal originating from a local oscillator (2) at a second input (3). An isolation block (13) comprising an active circuitry (22) is comprised in the N-port junction for isolating the second input (3) from the first input (1). Thereby can be ensured that the LO signals are significantly attenuated at the RF port (2).

    摘要: A technique for calibrating a N-port receiver, such as for example a 5- or 6-port receiver is proposed. The N-port receiver (1) comprises a first input (2) for a RF signal to be detected, a second input (3) for a RF signal originating from a local oscillator (4) and N−2 output terminals. Calibrating signals are generated on the basis of the RF signal supplied by the local oscillator (4). The calibration signals are fed to the first input (2) and/or the second input (3) of the N-port receiver (1). Calibration coefficients are calculated on the basis of the output signals generated by the N-port receiver (1) in response to the feeding of the calibration signals. The calibration signals are unmodulated signals and are only processed by means of a passive RF circuitry in the calibration device (100). The solutions according to the present invention allow a simple calibration of N-port receivers, which can be used as IQ demodulators or converters. Thereby a local oscillator (4) is used as a RF source for the calibration.

The modulation identification device (1) comprises a n-port junction (17), n being an integer equal to or larger than three.
